What happened
The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.
Widespread heavy rain fell across much of the western and central portions of Middle Georgia. The heaviest rain fell from near Lumpkin and Americus northeast to near Jeffersonville and about 50 miles either side. The heavy rain fell in two rounds, one during the early morning from roughly 5 am EST to 10 am EST and another from around 2 pm to 7 pm EST. Rainfall across much of this area averaged three to five inches with local amounts of six to eight inches between Americus and Hawkinsville. Several counties across the western and central portions of Middle Georgia experienced flash flooding during this event. Several dam breakages were reported. General flooding continued across the area for a couple of days.While general flooding was reported throughout much of the area, specific information was received from the counties listed below:Crisp - The County 911 Center reported that a number of roads were flooded from many hours of heavy rain early in the morning. Rainfall of three to four inches fell from midnight until noon EST across the northwest part of the county, with an additional inch of rain during the afternoon hours. The southeast part of the county only received two to three inches total.Muscogee - County 911 Center reported that three to four inches of rain had fallen since midnight across the county. The heavy rain had resulted in numerous flooded streets in Columbus and flooding of the Riverwalk along the Chattahoochee River in the southern portions of downtown Columbus.Stewart - The Lumpkin/Richland Police Department reported that overnight heavy rain had caused flooding of several streets in Richland. Rainfall of four to five inches fell across the county between midnight and noon EST on the 27th.Sumter - Extensive flooding remained across the county, even after the flash flooding had subsided. Among other items, the Sumter Humane Society reported that one foot of water had accumulated in the building.Talbot - Flooding along the Flint River near Georgia Highway 36 in the far northeast part of the county threatened to flood several homes. Water rose into the yards of the homes, but not into the homes. Residents of the area were warned that evacuations may be necessary at any minute.Telfair - After flash flooding damaged and washed out several roads in the county during the early morning hours, flooding continued to affect many areas of the county throughout the day. Railroad tracks, parking lots, and some roads remained under water.Treutlen - Early morning heavy rain caused flooding of several roads in the western portion of the county, including Georgia Highways 46 and 199 and Crooked Run Road. Wildwood Lake overflowed its banks from the excessive runoff and flooded Georgia Highway 46. Some damage was reported to Georgia Highway 199.
